Tuesday, March 3: University Closing at 7 p.m.

Due to expected storm conditions, the University will close at 7 p.m. this evening. All classes starting at or after 7 p.m. are canceled. Individual professors may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online when the campus is closed, so students should check Blackboard and their email to learn of any alternate arrangements.

Milanovic Presents Research Paper at Conference in Puerto Rico

Ivana Milanovic, professor of mechanical
engineering, CETA, presented a research paper at the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Heat Transfer, Fluids
Engineering, & Nano-, Micro- and Mini-channels Conference
(HTFNMM2012) in July 2012 in Puerto Rico.

The HTFNMM Conference brought together international researchers
and engineers focusing on heat and mass transfer and fluid flow in
a variety of applications. The objectives of the meeting were to
provide a forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art research
and opportunities for technical interactions among
participants.

The research paper, "Effect of Artifical Perturbation on Unsteady
Wake Vortices in Jets in Cross-Flow," was co-authored with Khairul
Zaman and Timothy Bencic of NASA Glenn Research Center. The
experimental study examined unsteady wake vortices of jets in
cross-flow and explored the possibility of periodic perturbation of
these vortices with oscillating tabs. Tab oscillation introduced
periodicity of the flow manifesting by side-to-side oscillatory
motion of the entire flow field with varying phase.

Milanovic also co-organized the 11th Symposium on Fundamental
Issues and Perspectives in Fluid Mechanics and 5th Symposium on the
Transport Phenomena in Mixing.
